Abstract

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for joint operation of two or more radio access technologies (RATs) is provided. One method includes determining, by a network node of a first radio access technology, that a user equipment is about to connect with a second radio access technology. The method may further include informing the second radio access technology that the connection with the user equipment is a dual-radio access technology connection. The second radio access technology is one of a master or slave radio access technology, and the slave radio access technology has restricted mobility management functionality compared to the master radio access technology.
